A just-married central Iowa couple had a horrible start to the new year. After a New Year’s Eve ceremony, the newlyweds from Urbandale were being taken to the Des Moines airport early on New Year’s Day to leave for their honeymoon. The groom’s father was driving, had an apparent heart attack at the wheel, crashed the car into a utility pole and died. An autopsy is planned on 74-year-old Tang Nong of Urbandale. The newlyweds, 34-year-old Kathleen Hurley and 35-year-old Kun-Pheng Nong, were both injured in the crash and taken to a Des Moines hospital, as was a third passenger. Condition reports aren’t available.
